Rated 5 out of 5 by whirleybird Love the umbrella!
I was looking for a heavy duty umbrella that would tolerate wind and this is it. Easy to open and close and lightweight enough that it can be easily removed during stormy weather....didn't want to push my luck! Very pleased with purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by chinagal The quality cannot be beat!
This umbrella is perfect for what I had been searching for: lightweight, attractive and yet endurance enough to handle the rain in the Northwest!!! This is perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BobbiB This product is worth every penny and then some.
The umbrella was installed with no problem. The crank works so gently and smoothly that I didn't think it was moveing at first ...both going up and coming down. The weight is good too. When a nasty storm is forcast I take the umbrella out of the stand (rather safe than sorry) with no problem. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great outdoor umbrella.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoosmum Great Product
I was really surprised with the quality of this patio umbrella for the price.
It is very well made, and looks much better than some umbrellas I have
paid more for. I feel this was a great bargain and I am well pleased with
this purchase. The tilt feature was one I did not expect for this price.

Does this umbrella keep the rain out? If I put it over my patio furniture will it keep it from getting wet? I'm looking for something to cover part of my uncovered patio so I can still go outside even when it's sprinkling.

Thank you for your question.Improvements patio umbrellas are primarily for shading and secondarily for decorative purposes only. Improvements recommends that the umbrellas either be stored undercover or an umbrella cover placed on it when not in use, especially in inclement weather. For off season, we recommend it be placed in storage. This will prolong the quality of the umbrella frame and canopy.

the catalog indicates the green is a hunter green. And it looks hunter green in the catalog image. the swatch on the computer indicates "green" and almost appears to be a Kelly green. Which is more accurate the catalog or website?

And the catalog displays five colors - is the antique beige the middle umbrella? Once again the website sample color appears to be much brighter than the catalog

Thank you for your question.Some monitor screens do not always display the images as to what they should be. Please use the catalog as your best reference when choosing the color selection for the Hunter Green swatch. As far as the Antique Beige again use the catalog as your best reference. If you zoom in on the lifestyle shot located on the web product page this will too give you a better idea of the color. These images are the same images printed in the catalog.
